That's not true is it? At least, if I use 'debuild' I get a pretty big warning if the orig.tar.gz is missing. <snip> $ apt-get source acct $ rm acct_6.5.1.orig.tar.gz $ debuild This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory; (expected one of acct_6.5.1.orig.tar.gz, acct_6.5.1.orig.tar.bz2, acct_6.5.1.orig.tar.lzma or acct-6.5.1.orig) </snip> If that is debuild specific, wouldn't it be much simpler to implement the same check in dpkg-dev than having every package add this silly format file? I for one am very happy I won't be seeing the Lintian warning anymore and have no intention of adding the source/format file until forced to for my (very few) packages. IMO format 1.0 is perfectly adequate for tons of packages and should remain the default without any need to be specified.
